Vectorworks 2011 ?Release note

Recommended Posts

Aloha, I noticed in the announcement about VW's partnership with Maxon Computer Lisa Lance wrote, "Beginning with the next release of Vectorworks? software, which will be available on Sept. 14, 2010, ..."

Wondering if anyone seen a list of improvement, features etc. somewhere?

Can we PLEASE have a timely release of the demo disks in the UK this year! I need to review the new version and persuade the partners that the upgrade is worthwhile. With a 12 month cycle I don't want to wait 6 weeks for the disk, take 2 weeks to review it, wait 2 weeks for the partners to meet...you get the idea.

It took so long for the demo disk of 2010 to arrive we thought we'd wait for this year's release!

I'll be the stick in the mud then. I don't care much for the marketing technique. I'd rather the software did the talking. Perhaps a few marketing personnel could be dropped so they can take on another interface designer?

Perhaps ...

In fact marketing technique has very little or zero impact on my decisions. It's just only amusing (sometimes)

It's just irritating.....just put out a couple of 'normal' YouTube screen-casts instead of these childish fake home videos.......... even a written list of improvements/additions beforehand would be more professional!

Looks like the interface hasn't seen any change at all from what I can see...which will please many on these boards.

I'd rather they were more radical and introduced a dynamic workspace that adapted to the operations you were performing. We're gonna be scrolling through that unwieldy Object Info palette for a few more years yet...

Looks like a good step forward. I would assume you could select all the circles and push/pull them together.

I would love to see some bigger changes to the UI. Things that keep your focus in the drawing/3D model. As an example, how about the mode bar options for a tool showing up below the heads up display, allowing you to cycle through them with a single key..... sorta like I mocked up below for the polyline tool....
